Introduction and Design Brief. How to present the project, Selection of groups. Project rationale. Materials Selection - why move to GFRP over traditional design. What are the significant steps in manufacture? Solid modelling to final product.
Session3&4:
Discuss why chop strand glass fibre spray lay-up over other techniques. What is a typical factory layout to manufacture GFRP? Full manufacturing path – equipment requirements.
Session 5&6:
ASTM standards. Discuss ASTM D790 and ASTM 2584. How it would be typical for testing to occur as a confirmation and QA over life of project
Session7&8:
Testing to determine the physical and mechanical properties of the composite. Designing the mould. Laying up parts. Delivery of parts to clients
Session9&10:
MSDS, OH&S, Sustainability and waste disposal.
Session11&12:
Finalisation of project. Working on Project or consultation/guidance in classroom
Session13&14:
Working on Project or consultation/guidance in classroom and project submission
It has been decided to change the body from steel press panels traditionally spot welded together to GFRP - Materials
Rationale for this change – advances/developments from traditional manufacturing methods – sustainability in aerodynamics/fuel efficiency/corrosion resistance etc.
How to make the mould, assemble a manufacturing team and how to purchase the materials needed.
How the process works – full manufacturing path
Discuss OH&S, MSDS requirements to
Discuss 3D modelling of this and type drawing requirements
Introduce ASTM standards for materials testing of the final product – Flexural Testing, Theoretical strength determination using rule of mixtures
Sustainability, environmental requirements, waste disposal – local council/land fill regulations
Delivery of goods to clients
Mid 1990’s truck bonnet – Traditional steel and spot welded construction

This report will be uploaded to Blackboard through Turnitin. No more than 15% similarity index will be permitted. Only one report is required per group to be uploaded.
All members of the team are to receive the same result. It is up to you to manage your team such that a fair and equitable division of labour exists.
It is your responsibility to have all the project team members names on the cover with student numbers in order to receive an assessment.
OH&S considerations – safe working with fibreglass
http://www.worksafe.vic.gov.au/
· How are you, as the engineer in charge, supposed to deal with this information?
· Where do you store it?
· How does the team who works with this material understand what is inside the documentation?
· Who implements it?
· What are some of the legal implications?
· What are the PPE requirements?
How should the waste materials from this practical be safely disposed of? Find the correct method based on OH&S and quote the reference. Look at your local council waste disposal regulations.
State any environmental and/or sustainability issues in manufacturing with fiberglass composite materials for this application (truck bonnets) compared to traditional methods using pressed sheet steel.
In your answers, consider the following points:
· Energy and water
· Transport
· Ecology, ecosystems and biodiversity
· Pollution and waste
· Resource efficiency
· Carbon footprint
· Corporate responsibility
· Health and wellbeing, OH&S
